After an immersive two-day training workshop and weeks of intensive studying (which explains the lack of posts), this past Monday I passed the official USGBC exam to become a LEED Accredited Professional. I’ve learned more in the last two weeks than I have in the past two years.
Although, the LEED Green Buildings Rating Systems are an energy and environmentally based program, I feel that, having gone through the training and accreditation process, LEED simply helps one be a better architect. From site selection through indoor air quality, LEED addresses each critical element of a well-designed building.
Be sure to visit Westchester Green early and often. I will be posting much more about the LEED process and how you can benefit from participating in the LEED for Homes program.
